Have you`ve been searching for the best cuddle bug that has the cutest face?? If so, Luke may be the guy for you. This sweet, oh so friendly good boy is 7 years old and waiting for his special person to fall in love with him, which is actually pretty easy to do. He will be a great future walking buddy and companion. Bonus- Luke is house trained! Because Luke has separation anxiety, he would do best with someone who can be home more often than not, while being committed to helping him slowly become more independent. Luke may be able to join a home with a mellow resident dog that doesn`t want/need to be playful. A dog savvy cat is also a possibility, coupled with well managed, slow introductions. Luke has a great history with children and would enjoy a family with kids that will help with his training. Luke already has the role of snuggle bug extraordinaire down to perfection and now just needs to work on his independence skills. If you think you are the wonderful person that would like to work with this very deserving dog to become the best boy ever, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Orion! He’s an athletic, fun-loving pup with a stellar personality that’s sure to make you laugh. Orion can be a little wary of meeting new people at first, but once you’re in the club, he’d love to showcase his goofy side – with occasional breaks to rest his giant head in your lap. He’s still a young guy who is looking for someone to help him learn the basics – such as showing him the ropes with new people and dogs – but he’s got all of the makings to be a GREAT adventure buddy with a little help from his friends! Orion has enjoyed other dogs in the shelter, but he’s still learning how to be polite – he may be able to live with a dog who can tolerate an awkward teenager, or could be fine as an only dog. Orion has no history with cats, but he may get along with them using slow introductions. Submit an inquiry for Orion today!

This handsome young guy is sweet, fun and full of energy. Marshall is just a year old and he`s been happily working on leash manners and polite greetings, especially since treats are involved, which means training is a blast for him. He`s a people kind of dog and would do best in a setting where someone is home more often than not and has a predictable schedule. Since Marshall is still quite young and learning the ins and out of good manners, puppy proofing the home will be a great way to help him be successful. His new family should be excited to continue his positive training to help him achieve best boy status. Marshall may be happiest as the only dog in the home, but could potentially join a home with a very well matched friend, with proper management. A dog savvy cat is also a possibility, but again will require well managed introductions. Older kids that can participate in his training will be considered.

Meet Sophie! This special lady is on the road to emotional and physical healing after our Law Enforcement department joined Agawam Police and Animal Control to rescue Sophie last month after neighbors complained they could hear her being hit and crying in pain. Her owner is being charged with two counts of felony animal cruelty. She was immediately brought to our Boston shelter, where veterinarians examined her and found that in addition to being emaciated, she had anemia, a fractured tooth, and a thin coat.

Since then, we have been helping her get healthy – physically and behaviorally – and giving her lots of love! Sophie is incredibly friendly and loving, despite her past trauma. She has a big personality that is silly and engaging. She loves being around people, and has recently started to show some interest in making a few new dog friends. We know that Sophie can thrive in the right home with hero adopters who are able to continue the behavior support she’s been receiving in our care. We’re looking for an adopter in an adult-only household with no other pets. If you can be Sophie’s hero, inquire at mspca.org/bostonadopt!

This handsome boy is 2 years old and loves to go for walks in quiet areas. Chester is 60 pounds of happy with people he`s comfortable with. Since he is a worrier and a bit fearful of new people, a low traffic home that doesn`t have new people coming and going is appropriate for him. His adopters should allow him time to quietly transition to their home, giving him the opportunity to choose when to say hello. Chester would love to be with someone who`s home more often than not, so he can keep them company and show them what a good boy he is. Mental enrichment with things like food puzzles, treat dispensers and chews will keep him happy and entertained while in the home. While Chester should be the only pet in the home, he may eventually be able to have a well matched dog friend to go on walks together. He is not a candidate for daycare or dog parks. He can potentially live with older teens that will consistently be respectful of his needs. Chester is ready to be the loving companion to someone that thinks he`s wonderful, just the way he is. If you think you and Chester are great for each other, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Have you been looking for an adventure buddy? Cosette might just be the one for you. She`s just 7 months old and she`s an energetic, athletic and clever gal. Cosette has already started to learn her basic manners and will need an adopter that will be excited to continue this with her so she can achieve best girl ever status. Daily physical exercise as well as mental enrichment during indoor time, will help this lovely girl settle into a nice routine. She may be able to join a home with a confident, tolerant dog that will be a good role model, as long as there is always supervised play time with lots of opportunities for both dogs to relax. No cat friends for this girl please. Since Cosette can still be jumpy and a bit mouthy when excited, any kids in the home will need to be older teens. If you`re ready for a girl that will get you outside for fun and then some snuggle time, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Lil Draco! This sweet boy has already been through so much in his short 5 months. He had an injury to his hip that required surgery and he is now ready to go home and start being a puppy. Because Lil Draco spent some of his formative weeks recuperating, he’s a little bit behind on learning his puppy manners, so he’s looking for a family who can help him make up for lost time – lots of learning, lots of play time, lots of love. Given his young age at the time of injury, effects on his growth are possible and potential adopters should have a close relationship with a veterinarian to maintain ongoing physical therapy and monitoring of his injury. Lil Draco would do well with older kids who are excited to help him learn about being a polite boy. He could live with a role model adult dog or a dog-savvy cat. To learn more about Lil Draco, submit an inquiry today!

Snuggles, long walks and years of love to give are all packed into this 35 pound little body. Xena is a 2 year old cutie that promises the best of both worlds- she`s got energy so playtime and walks will keep you both healthy and she`s got a big ole dose of the snuggle gene, to keep you company while you relax. Xena has had some transitions in her life that have kept her from fine tuning house training and calm play, so her adopter should be excited to help her achieve success in these areas with a well managed routine. A well mannered resident dog that will be a good role model and still likes to play, is a possibility, but this will require more management on the adopters part, while Xena learns the rope. Xena has lived with a cat in the past, but a new cat would have to be a very dog savvy one. Older, calm kids that are comfortable with a sometimes bouncy, playful dog, will be considered. If you`d like to meet Xena to see if she`s the one for you, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Meet Trudi! This spunky girl came to us from a shelter in South Carolina, so we don’t know much about her history. When she first came to us she was using a wheelchair, but has made tremendous progress and is walking on her own! Trudi likely had some sort of spinal injury and has slowly but surely regained her mobility and is able to go for walks, chase balls and even attempt to play with other dogs! She is well on the road to recovery and we hope to see even more improvement with continued physical therapy. Trudi will need an adopter committed to continuing her rehabilitation and training.

Trudi is happy and fun dog who loves everyone she meets and is more than happy to use you as a resting spot to give you a good angle for petting her. She will happy climb into any lap within sitting distance and try and give you lots of kisses. We think she could do well with older children who can participate in her training and could live with another savvy dog with proper introductions. One of her favorite activities is try to chase small animals, so we would not recommend she live with cats. If you’re interested in Trudi, fill out an inquiry today!

This lovely lady is 8 years old, so she`s past all that silly puppy stuff. Maya loves to play with toys, go for walks and enjoys a belly rub or two. Transitions are hard for this sweet girl and she was initially very worried. Adopters should expect that this will resurface while she settles into her new home and give her plenty of time. Maya would probably prefer to be the only dog in the home as she is not a fan of sharing with other dogs. Although she has not lived with a cat, with slow well managed introductions, she may be able to join a home with a dog savvy one. Kids that are old enough to give her the appropriate space during meals and treat times, will be considered. Maya will be a wonderful companion to someone very lucky.

Everyone loves a doodle, and handsome Cisco is looking for his next home! Big changes can be hard for Cisco, so his adopters should plan on giving him plenty of time to transition to his new home, on his own terms. Once he’s settled in though, he loves a good snuggle! A lower traffic home, in a quieter neighborhood can help make him more comfortable. He is looking for a home with adults and maybe teens, where people can read his body language to know when he’s uncomfortable, and to give him space accordingly. Cisco would like to be the only dog in the home, but could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat, pending a slow introduction. Cisco is currently on behavioral medication for anxiety, so a good relationship with a vet is key!

Meet Rolls Royce, Royce for short. As her namesake, Royce is a sleek & classy lady! Royce loves the companionship of her people, going for long walks or just hanging out watching a movie. In Rolls Royce fashion, Royce is a gem and has quite the fan club! She is working hard on her manners & will show any potential adopter how smart she is- only positive reinforcement for this lovely lady! Royce can be over exuberant with unannounced guests and will respond with a deep rumbling voice, so be prepared to manage her environment so she learns to welcome guests with a quiet hello. Her adopter will need to manage her environment to help prevent the barking, rather than using corrective methods which tend to make the behavior worse. For now Royce would love to be your one and only but may enjoy some dog friends outside of the house. She’s lived with cats before and could potentially do well with a dog-savvy cat. Older, sturdy kids that are comfortable with a large dog and can be consistently respectful of her needs, will be considered.

Heidi will need patient adopters that can give her plenty of time and space to settle into her new life. Because there is no history of Heidi`s past, adopters should plan to be flexible with her training needs as she matures.
